Sydenham Town Forum

I actually picked the Metro up this morning, following yesterday's conversation. On page 4 I spotted a photo labelled as David Ross (he's been on the news the last few days for being very naughty with shares) which clearly wasn't him... how hard can it be to use a photo of the right person in a story?

Have to agree with you Liz!

I can cook but I don't have a dining table... kinda counts me and the boyfriend out really!

Exactly! These poor guys were just trying to organise something which actually sounds like a good idea...

I understand where you're coming from nickerbockers, but the "journalism" is truly dire.. however, I have noticed that Sydenham doesn't get it yet Forest Hill station does - has that always been the case?

I agree with Maestro - most appliances like that aren't worth repairing these days. I just had a quick look online and Tesco do a Sony (ie good brand) option for £12 or a Technika one which is reduced from £50 to £5!

• Toy fair - boyfriend and I bought niece and nephew presents from a fabulous toyshop in Cranbrook, Kent on the weekend. It sells wonderful, original toys of much higher quality than bog standard toy stores. Also has lots of handmade-style and traditional toys. So something like that in a market wou...

I'd like to see: - a fishmonger with fresh products - a knowledgable butcher - organic fruit and veg - good quality, unique homeware EDIT: didn't realise that I've worded that in exactly the same as natbeuk, it took me a few attempts to describe what I meant too! - at weekends, hot food stalls (lik...

I have to agree - 7-10mins walk is pretty good!!

Unique homeware is exactly what it says! Furniture, gadgets, ornamental bits and pieces... hand made, one-offs, small brands...anything that you wouldn't get in your average high street store.

Great minds think alike Chazza :wink: I second the idea of hot food stalls, there's a few at Borough that do it brilliantly. Also, I love the free samples that a lot of the stallholders do there. Borough has a great, buzzing atmosphere and people flock to it.. imagine if something similar could be c...

Where is this meant to be distributed/available?
I could report that I don't receive it but I don't know if that's a problem, or if I'm actually not supposed to receive it!!

I'd have two main requests:
Food, ie fresh produce along the lines of Borough Market.
Good quality, unique, homewares and clothing.

Personally, I've never seen it.

The more I look at the design, the less I think it suits the area. Sydenham has some lovely old architecture, and while modern and old can sit well alongside and compliment each other.... well, ultimately the flats look like big blocks, and big blocks don't really compliment anything. I can see this...

..the STF people will be at the table next to them.


(Sorry, couldn't resist )

By the way, Scott, you don't know what's going in 134 Kirkdale do you? They're doing some sort of fitting out work there...

You're joking. That's just great......

I told you lambchops, we're everywhere!

I can't make it, sorry! Boyfriend & I are going for a weekend out of London. One of these days I'll come along to an event and put some faces to names...
